- Owner's manual
Q: I noticed that there are 4 rubber like tabs on the wire tray, do they need to be removed
A: No you leave them on. They stop the tray from falling out and burning you when you're dumping food out. I found this article looking for replacements because we somehow lost one.
Q: The lights are not turning to show the air fryer is on. How do we know if its on?
A: The light button blinks when I turn it on I push it and it stops blinking but no light?
Q: do you use oil in this fryer
A: Most store bought items that have a bake option to simulate frying (fries, tater tots, breaded fish, chicken tenders, strips, patties, etc.) all have a small amount of oil already to help them crisp up when you bake them in the oven instead of deep frying. Those types of items do not really need to have any oil added at all and generally come out great as they are. For other types of items, like say you cut home made fries, it's better to add a small amount of oil. You don't submerge it in oil like a deep fryer or even sit it in a pool of oil. Just add a little coating / sprinkling to the outside of the food. What I find best for this is using olive oil in an oil spritzer bottle. They can be found at many favorite housewares or retailers on line. Put oil in, pump a few times, and you've got a fine mist aerosol of oil to lightly spray food. Cooking spray works too but can add unwanted flavors or chemicals to your food. Uncoated meats on their own don't require any added oil.
A: Chefman fryer has a 10 cent thermostat fuse that goes bad. The problem is getting to it. You have to completly dismantle the unit. This problem is common with high temp appliances and particularly chefman.
Q: how large is the basket, how many cups?
A: I can put half a chicken in the basket.
A: Apparently after 3 months is when it all starts to go down hill. Mine just stopped working today (3 months after purchase). I used it yesterday and it was perfectly fine. I guess it only lasts for 3 months.
Q: Can you put breaded fish or pork chops in the air fryer or even an egg and flour to coat?
A: You sure can!
A: Same thing happened to me, within one month it stopped working. Chefman customer support has not contacted me back. I have called and emailed with no results but I just happen to plug it up after a few days and it started working back again. I also do not recommend because you do not get the support from the company.
